We have an agreement! We have a common ground!!!
SLIDE 21
Common ground?
SLIDE 22
”concrete guidelines regarding what is needed in order to establish and maintain quality in local youth work.” “a common European platform for the necessary dialogue on youth work”
SLIDE 23 A common ground constitutes:
- What all young people should be able to
expect from youth work
- What all stakeholders need to cooperate
around in order to make this come true
SLIDE 24
/…/ it is important that EU youth policy be implemented with the interlinkages with regional and local levels in mind and that activities are conducted to support youth policies at grass-roots level.
